DS Rob Ridley led what has been a lengthy and thorough enquiry. He said: "I'm pleased these ten have been sentenced for their part in this incident.

"They all stormed into the Irish Centre, scuffled with two people inside and then left. As a big crowd it was intimidating and it has been a lengthy enquiry to identify those involved and get them to this stage.

"There's no place for any kind of violent conduct, threatening or intimidating behaviour in Newcastle and we'll always do all we can to get those involved before the courts.

"I hope this sends out the message to others that we take this sort of offending extremely seriously and anyone involved can expect to be dealt with robustly by police."
